A man's abilities in bed depend on many factors.Some have a good effect on potency, while others, on the contrary, provoke a decrease in sexual instincts. The strength of "combat readiness" in sex is influenced by external factors, a man’s age, his self-esteem and success in life. Men who have reached certain heights in life do not have complexes about their appearance, health and wealth.
They are sure that women always like them. Men with weak self-esteem, on the contrary, try not to attract the attention of the fair sex, as they are unsure of their abilities. For sex, they choose not the most active women or completely refuse such an activity.
With age, healthy men do not lose their desire, but they need to prepare for sex in advance in order to restore their strength and existing abilities. Quite successful and healthy men can also have difficulties in bed. There are other reasons for this.
Several reasons cause a noticeable deterioration in sexual activity and a decrease in erectile function:
- physical and emotional fatigue;
- diabetes mellitus, prostatitis and other age-related diseases;
- obesity and sedentary lifestyle;
- lack of sex;
- bad habits.
But there are factors that enhance potency:
- regular sex;
- moderate physical activity;
- proper nutrition;
- prevention and treatment of diseases.
Eliminating negative and adding positive factors is a direct path to success in the fight against weak potency.
The influence of age on sexual activity
Natural age affects male potency.Decrease in sexual function occurs after 50 years, but deterioration of sexual power is possible much earlier. In older age, testosterone production decreases, metabolic processes in cells slow down, and a man requires more strength and energy for sex. A man’s sexual activity depends on his state of health, the presence of concomitant diseases and the desire to keep his body young and healthy.
To enhance potency in adulthood, a set of measures is used aimed at normalizing erectile function:
- massage;
- physiotherapy;
- phytotherapy;
- drug treatment.
Detrimental effect on the potency of bad habits and addictions
Drug use at the initial stage causes a feeling of liberation and euphoria during sex.
But gradually, with addiction, psychoactive substances completely destroy the entire body:
- sleep is disturbed;
- nervousness and irritability appear;
- attacks of aggression are replaced by a passive mood;
- chronic diseases worsen;
- loss of interest in sex;
- immunity decreases;
- heart problems appear;
- erection is lost.
Bad habits have a progressively detrimental effect on the reproductive system and the entire body, unless you stop depending on toxic substances. Even in minimal quantities they worsen health. Complete abandonment of bad habits does not guarantee one hundred percent sexual health, but it reduces the risk of developing sexual dysfunctions.
Addictions such as self-satisfaction or masturbation can affect potency.There is no direct connection between masturbation and potency– This does not reduce erection and does not reduce libido. But psychological sexual dysfunction occurs when a man loses interest in the opposite sex over time, and an addiction appears, which is then difficult to quit.
Regular self-satisfaction has its drawbacks in physiological terms:
- ejaculation is impaired. It happens too quickly;
- there is no complete emptying of the vas deferens. The normal sexual process is disrupted.
For emotional and physical satisfaction, it is more beneficial to have regular sex life. This will preserve your sexual health.
Medicines and pills that reduce erection levels
Treatment of existing diseases with certain groups of drugs improves health, but potency suffers from such treatment. The greatest harm to potency is caused by drugs against hypertension, painkillers, antidepressants, drugs for allergies and neurological diseases. These drugs can slow down blood circulation, cause problems with ejaculation, and impair erection. If, as a result of the treatment of one disease, male power suffers, then the drug should be replaced or the treatment regimen should be changed.
The drugs used as a result of self-medication can also harm sexual functions. It is better to restore potency after visiting a doctor with a prescription for the drug.
Do certain diseases affect erectile function?
Violation of potency may be associated with temporary or chronic diseases in the body:
| Diseases in the genitourinary system. | Inflammation of the prostate, vas deferens, and urethra impairs potency and reduces the activity of all genital organs |
| With diseases of the pelvic organs. | Hemorrhoids and hernia also lead to potency disorders, changing the functioning of the intestines and bladder, causing discomfort to the man |
| With diseases of the heart and blood vessels. | With high pressure, the vessels of the penis are not completely filled with blood, the penis is not strong enough, and the erection does not last long. Arterial hypertension does not allow taking certain drugs to improve potency. In turn, treatment of this disease with medications provokes an additional deterioration in sexual functions. The doctor decides which medications to choose for the treatment of two ailments. He also establishes the procedure and dosage for the use of medications. |
| With the presence of infections in the urinary tract. | Infectious diseases are treated with antibiotics and antiviral drugs. These drugs have side effects on the digestive system, microflora and reproductive system. |
Why is intervertebral hernia dangerous?
Intervertebral hernia is dangerous due to severe health complications if timely treatment is not carried out. As a result of the disease, compression of nerve endings occurs and disruption of the transmission of nerve impulses to the vertebral and lumbar parts of the spinal cord.
As a result, dysfunction of the pelvic organs appears: blood stagnation appears, cell nutrition is disrupted, inflammatory processes in the genital organs progress, impotence and infertility appear. Lack of therapy will inevitably lead to bad consequences. It is important to seek medical help in time and undergo a course of treatment.
A hernia in the groin is fraught with complications not only in the reproductive system, but it can be fatal.When an inguinal hernia occurs, a portion of the abdominal organ prolapses into the groin area. It may be near the spermatic cord, scrotum.
Depending on the stage of the disease, the man experiences discomfort and pain:
| nagging pain | lower abdomen |
| swelling | in the genital area and groin |
| bulging and knots | in the sore area |
The pathology affects sexual functions with negative consequences: blood circulation and urination are impaired, sexual desire decreases, potency weakens, and infertility develops. The pathology is eliminated by surgery.
The influence of prostatitis on potency and sexual functions
A disease such as prostatitis does not have the best effect on potency. The prostate gland produces a secretion that is included in sperm, participates in sexual intercourse during ejaculation, and produces the sex hormone testosterone. Inflammation of the prostate reduces or completely inhibits sexual functions, disrupting the functioning of the entire reproductive system. At the initial stage of the disease, sexual intercourse is possible, but during orgasm the man experiences pain, and therefore sex becomes rare. This leads to urological problems and decreased reproductive function.
Chronic prostatitis leads to complete impotence and problems with conception.After belated treatment of the prostate, it is sometimes not possible to restore potency.
Erectile dysfunction due to hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are a disease that affects the large intestine and anus. Cracks and nodes appear on the walls and mucous membranes, which cause pain, burning and discomfort. Going to the toilet turns into torture. The prostate gland in men is located next to the large intestine. When the colon becomes inflamed, it puts pressure on the prostate and its function is impaired. This is an additional risk of getting prostatitis.
In the genitourinary system, tissue nutrition is disrupted and sexual functions are limited. New diseases appear in the reproductive system. At any stage of the disease, it is necessary to consult a doctor and diagnose the body in order to prescribe the correct treatment. A complicated stage of hemorrhoids can lead to a complete loss of potency and irreversible consequences for the body.
Why does having diabetes disrupt your sex life?
The nervous and circulatory systems are the main "workers" in the reproductive system during sexual intercourse. If a man has diabetes, the blood sugar level rises, the work of nerves and blood vessels is blocked, and the body’s nutrition, blood pressure, and breathing are disrupted. The heart works under strain, blood vessels become clogged, metabolic processes are inhibited, testosterone production decreases, and the decline in potency progresses. Fortunately, this disease is treatable, and it is possible to control blood sugar levels and have healthy potency.
To do this, you need to visit a doctor and select appropriate medications for therapy in order to maintain potency and live a full sex life at any age.
What else affects male potency?
Male potency is affected by lifestyle and nutrition.Developing obesity, intoxication of the body with harmful substances, sedentary work, psychologically unstable condition, lack of sexual intercourse - all this leads to a decrease in sexual abilities and sexual desires. Excessive involvement in strength sports also provokes disturbances in the activity of the genital organs. The male body needs rest before sex, and during sports, all energy goes into training. It takes time to regain energy and stamina.
Sexual desire and potency suffer from this. Often, professional athletes use doping drugs to maintain strength and endurance. Sports medications reduce the production of male sex hormones, which also leads to sad consequences in bed. The only thing you need to remember when pursuing sports hobbies is that physical activity is beneficial only if you follow the correct training and rest regime.
The body, under the influence of negative factors, quickly ages, cells atrophy, diseases progress, the man becomes weak and cannot have sex. By providing additional nutrition to the body and preventing diseases, you can maintain existing abilities and prolong sexual health.

Tea is a tonic drink that contains substances necessary for the functioning of the body. Tea invigorates, rejuvenates, and lifts your spirits. Green tea is considered the most beneficial for men.

Coffee can increase vitality, energy, give strength and vigor. In general, coffee in moderation has a beneficial effect on health.It is not recommended for men to abuse the drink, since substances in coffee contribute to the production of female estrogen hormones in the body and a decrease in the production of male sex hormones.
Indulging in coffee drinks and taking them in unlimited quantities can reduce potency precisely because of hormonal imbalance. No more than 1-2 cups a day of an invigorating drink will be enough to improve your mood and have a positive effect on the functioning of the body’s internal systems.
Medicinal herbs mint and St. John's wort for sexual desire

Such pathologies lead to heart attacks, strokes, and arterial hypertension. The kidneys and liver are also affected by alcohol. Alcoholism is a harmful habit that destroys health.
